Comment:

 The `--long_description` modifier is just the field as written in the
 Portfile.

 Regarding searching for binaries in ports, this is a completely different
 problem that would be addressed by having an offline index of port
 contents for uninstalled ports.

 As this ticket does not propose any solution, I am closing this. Please
 start discussion on the [MailingLists macports-dev] mailing list. Only
 after having a plan, a ticket should be created with the outcome of the
 discussion to track the progress of the implementation.
